Young & Dangerous

Young & Dangerous is a high-energy 1v1 Popping Battle where emerging dancers are invited to test their skill, style and nerve. In 2026, Popping Nation expands the floor with a new all-ages Rookie category, opening the battle to dancers of any age who are early in their journey and ready to take the leap.

Not quite battle-ready? Start your day with free foundation workshops led by Poppin Jack for a chance to build your basics, sharpen your groove and connect with community. Or take a seat, feel the bass and back your favourite dancer as they step into the spotlight. Featuring special performances by Stale Biskitz and Newtown Popping. 

Free to attend. Registration required for the workshops and battle.
